Breedlove Guitars

Since 1990 Breedlove has been building acoustic guitars their own way. Carefully melding the time-tested traditional methods with modern engineering and ingenuity in an effort to build some of the most exquisite acoustic guitars and mandolins in the world.In the early '90s Breedlove began experimenting with the JLD bridge truss system and this bracing technique's effect on balance, sustain, resonance and bass creating the “Original Breedlove Sound.” In 1991, the first Breedlove guitar appeared in stores across the country. It was then that this tiny company started building a reputation for quality instruments that broke the barriers between traditional construction and modern innovation. In the last two decades the craftsman at Breedlove have created many extraordinary instruments that are renown for their unique aesthetic and amazing tone.Breedlove has received numerous awards from ASIA, Acoustic Guitar Magazine, Guitar Players’ Magazine, the UK’s Guitarist Magazine, the state of Oregon, and NAMM. These fine instruments are played by some of the most respected musicians and heard on countless albums and stages around the world. Today's Breedlove guitars are built from hand selected, naturally aged tone woods from the Northwest and around the world and they offer the widest selection of non-traditional tone woods in the industry. Many of their unique instruments boast impressive custom inlay work and an extraordinary range of body configurations and appointment upgrades.

Late in 2010, Breedlove Guitar Company joined forces with a company equally passionate about quality instruments and the lifestyle associated with great music, Two Old Hippies. The combined skill and vision associated with both Breedlove and Two Old Hippies, has made them an excellent match and offers all of the makings of a bright and prosperous future.Kim Breedlove continues the tradition as a master luthier and artist, supported by the other highly skilled luthiers whose dedication and passion is apparent in the quality of each instrument they create. Uncompromising traditional craftsmanship, innovation, environmental consciousness and customer focus are at the core of the Breedlove philosophy.
